If someone were to spray themselves with this and fall into a body of water (pool, lake, ocean) wouldn't they drown? I would imagine that it would be very difficult to swim.


No, it'd be like wearing a thin layer of very smooth clothing. The effect is only seen very close to the surface


To be fair, when facing drowning, the "very close to the surface" part is the part that matters.
